You are a soldier from the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, 1759. You think you survived. You must find General Montcalm, deliver a letter and save the city of Québec. As you follow the clues, you will move through the fortifications, past cathedrals and across cobblestoned courtyards in Old Town Québec — a UNESCO World Heritage Site where four centuries of history are written into every stone. Along the way the streets will feel strangely quiet, people may not seem to notice you, and the letter in your pocket will grow older with every step.

This self-guided exploration takes you to 11 stops across Old Town Québec. You will play at your own pace with no guide or group, using the Questo app to access audio narration at every stop. Along the route you will encounter the city’s historic defensive walls, glimpses of its religious landmarks and the intimate courtyards that shaped daily life, while the story connects you back to the events of 1759 and your search for General Montcalm. The experience is suited to history lovers, couples and anyone who wants to experience Québec’s story from the inside.
